We failed to notice the response/obfuscation on his little blog when it was originally published since, frankly, the traffic from "Gannon's" site didn't trigger high enough numbers for us to take note of it in our "incoming traffic" hit-counter.

While we hate to draw any more attention to the silly, disgraced GOP operative, his presence in the White House briefing room --- dropping phony Administration talking points (or perhaps more precisely, Office of the Vice-President) during the early days of the CIA Leak revelations --- deserves notice and further investigation, in our opinion.

Also of note is the subsequent scrubbing of White House website documents referring to "Gannon's" questions at the time. That matter was also recently reported by Burns, and seems to be in apparent violation of the Presidential Records Act of 1978.

Anyway, we'll make "Jeff's" day and send him a bit of traffic today by quoting the lead of his blog item, in which he knocks the irony meter off the chart by calling Joe Wilson a "proven liar," and even goes so far as to write (apparently with a straight face): "The search for truth is not a smear campaign, it is the essence of journalism."

The Old Media is breathlessly reporting on the tapes of Scooter Libby's Grand Jury testimony in the Valerie Plame Affair. The reporters/DNC operatives are certain that Libby lied, probably to protect Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, George Bush, et al. The question I still ask is: Lied about what? That loudmouth Joe Wilson's third-rate, desk-jockey analyst wife worked at the CIA? Why lie about that and so what if he did? The only proven liar in the entire saga thus far is JOE WILSON.

A Hard Left blogger is claiming that I led the "White House attacks on Joe Wilson." That accusation is UNEQUIVOCALLY FALSE.

You'll have to read the rest of his piece to see how Republi-journaloid "Gannon" doesn't actually bother to offer any actual "proof" for his case that Wilson is a "proven liar." But in "Jeff's" imaginary Fox "News"-based world, we suspect that simply saying something out loud --- like "we know for a fact that Saddam Hussein has nuclear weapons" or "the insurgency is in its last throes" --- is "proof" enough for him and the other Bush dead-enders still left out there.

Fuckert's actually still writing??? FOX News should sign him up to replace Colmes...I can see it now: "PropagHannity and Fuckert"...he can be the mindless sidekick of "the Great American"...and provide "eye-candy" for Hannity fans, if he dresses like the above picture...

It was my experience in Africa that led me to play a small role in the effort to verify information about Africa's suspected link to Iraq's nonconventional weapons programs. Those news stories about that unnamed former envoy who went to Niger? That's me.

In February 2002, I was informed by officials at the Central Intelligence Agency that Vice President Dick Cheney's office had questions about a particular intelligence report. While I never saw the report, I was told that it referred to a memorandum of agreement that documented the sale of uranium yellowcake — a form of lightly processed ore — by Niger to Iraq in the late 1990's. The agency officials asked if I would travel to Niger to check out the story so they could provide a response to the vice president's office.

i find myself more and more like that homophobe evangelist who kicked/didn't kick his meth habit but who definetely has his homosexuality in check after 3 weeks of counciling. Do you have any more cute photos or have they been scrubbed from existance like White House website documents and widdo Scoota Libby's faulty memory. It's good that Reagan died with the famous words of "i can't recall" because after a permanent memory loss of the the Iran-Contra scandal, he simply didn't have the overwhelming popularity pull to try and overturn that silly law that a US president can only serve 2 terms.

Maybe GW Bush commander in chief of the Bushit administration might consider extending his tenure to 3 terms? He stole Florida in 2000 to win. He stole Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, and Florida in his victory of 2004. If he stole 2008, he and prick cheney i mean big dick could quit possible succeed in continuing their war of terrorism they started on 9/11/01. i dare you all to personally investigate World Trade Building #7 which fell controlled demolition 10 hours after the twin towers and no arabs were in the area to yell pull but thats all it took. 6 seconds later it was reduced to smoke and rubble. There has been no independent criminal investigations EVER and that's fine with Congress and Washington which has to problem continuing the multi-national corporate takeover of the United States and the world.

I'm sure if George is president a 3rd term he would fulfill my personal expectation of completely destroying this dream called life be it by military conflict or just the final choke of our fragile atmosphere from all the human pollution since the so called great industrial revolution that started pumping massive amounts of crap into the air we living things need to survive.

There is nothing like the human experience as compared to the other animals in the park.
This administration is a study of how when the most despicable greedy criminal lowlifes award themselves the power of the greatest nation in world how they can use that power against all human kind. As they speed to an apocalyptic demise using bigger lie after bigger lie as a form of damage control one thing is definetely clear. These people are the biggest fcking losers to ever inhabit my home!

Now, now, now,
don't be so hard on Jeffie Gannon.
He served our country with 10 tours of duty to Vietnam as a distinguished member of the United States Marine Corps. Semper Fi - Hoo-rah !!! Just read his slut web/blog.

He got five Purple Hearts, three Medals of Valour, a Silver Cross, the Congressional Medal of Honor, and the pResidential Medal of Freedom.

Oh,.. that's right,.. I'm sorry that was all just a bare faced lie, courtesy of Jeff Gannon. He is just a male prostitute who hires himself out at $200.00 per hour.

But he still deserves full credibility,.. he is just shy when it comes to telling the truth.

Perhaps no musical act has paid a bigger price for speaking out against war than the Dixie Chicks, the biggest selling female music group of all time and the big winners at the Grammy Awards on Sunday. They have been largely blacklisted since the eve of the U.S. invasion of Iraq in March 2003. That's when the group’s lead singer - Natalie Maines - said the group was against the war and ashamed that the President Bush is from Texas. Barbara Kopple joins us to talk about her new documentary, “Shut Up & Sing”, which chronicles the period since. [includes rush transcript]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Over the past four years scores of popular musicians have spoken out against the war in Iraq and the Bush administration. The list includes Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Jay Z, Missy Elliot, Sheryl Crow, Barbara Streisand and the list goes on. But perhaps no musical act has paid a bigger price for speaking out against the war than the Dixie Chicks – the biggest selling female music group of all time.
On Sunday night the group was the big winner at the Grammy Awards. The group won a total of five Grammys including Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Country Album. However if you tuned into many country radio stations today you won’t hear their music. They have been largely blacklisted for the past four years --- ever since the eve of the U.S. invasion of Iraq in March 2003. That's when the group’s lead singer - Natalie Maines - told an audience in London the group was against the war and ashamed that the President Bush is from Texas.

Don Young a republican representative from Alaska uses sources of the Jeffie G ilk.

On the floor he quoted a well-known and bogus fake quote from Abe Lincoln which never happened.

Many sicko wanna be right wing journos use the fake "quote":

During House floor debate on the Iraq War resolution Thursday, Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) fell into a trap that's caught plenty of other Iraq war supporters --- misquoting Abraham Lincoln as advocating the hanging of lawmakers who undermine military morale during wartime.

"Congressmen who willfully take action during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs, and should be arrested, exiled or hanged," Young quoted the 16th president as saying.

Young certainly added a sizzle to an otherwise fairly bland debate by raising the specter of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her party faithful being arrested for opposing President Bush's troop surge.

The only problem: Lincoln never said such a thing. It was actually J. Michael Waller in a piece he wrote for Insight magazine in December of 2003. Waller later told Annenberg's FactCheck.org that the "supposed quote in question is not a quote at all, and I never intended it to be construed as one."

Annenberg counted 18,000 subsequent references to the Lincoln "quote" by people who typically support Bush's war policy and, moreover, oppose critics of the president's war policy.

Hey BD
I thought you might be interested in this. I'm looking forward to adding my thoughts on the effects this FCC has had on democracy! Hope to see you and everybody else in PA who cares about media consolidation to be there!

There has been a lot of misinformation from liberals about a so-called false quotation from Abraham Lincoln. But no-one can deny these words from 1864 --- words which have a peculiar resonance today:

"I foresee a time, should this, our beloved party, ever lose its ability to steer the ship of state, when grave danger shall assail this nation. If ever these wise guardians of the earth no longer provide the hand that guides the plough, we shall be assailed not only from within, not only by the dreadful backstab of the domestic Judas, but from without, by forces inimical to the Christian faith and hostile to the very concept of civilization."

-- Abraham Lincoln, 1864, speaking before the Republican National Convention

Yeah NeilDeal
All those late night visits, hmmmmmmmmm? In my opinion the whole administration has the worst case of projection I've ever seen! When they're accusing the most damaging target of all those evil things they know are going on, it's really just because they're doing them!!!

Dan
Thanks, yea I remember that. But I'd like to find out how he and the white house ever hooked up in the first place.

It seems as if someone knew Gannon before Talon was created. Then they proceeded to create the fake Talon news so they could stick Gannon in the press corps and have him spread propaganda or inject doubt into stories.

A fake front group, much like ACVR, Thor's fake group. Lots of fake "infomercial" like stuff, to fool idiots, brought to you by Bushco. And don't forget the fake news VNR's, those fake news reports distributed across the country. Goebbels ministry of propoganda: Bush and the corporative Republicans.

Nobody here seems to be able to properly address the repeatedly asked question of where this Guckert/Gannon guy actually came from. Neither can I give you a definitive answer, but I can tell you this:

Some people think Gannon is actually the first child ever to appear on the back of a milk carton, Johnny Gosch. Note the JG initials that Gannon/Guckert/Gosch(?) uses for all his aliases. More info on that can easily be found by Googling "Guckert Gosch".

Even more people note the remarkable correspondence between Gannon's sketchy overnight White House visits and Tony Blair's overnights --- Google "Guckert Blair" and see...

It seems as if someone knew Gannon before Talon was created. Then they proceeded to create the fake Talon news *so they could stick Gannon in the* (press corps) and have him *spread* (propaganda) or *inject* (doubt into stories.)
--------------------

Hahahahahah!!
See what a few parenthesis can do?!!
I'd say that just about sums it up.

I bought the Dixie Chicks CD a few months ago. It is not "hard country" and their voices spice things up.

I also bought Neil Young's Living with war CD. These two are better than Bob Dylan's latest because he is wimping out on activist issues and seems to want to stew in blues instead of using his brilliant poetical and musical ability to resist the fascists.

Oh how I long for more Masters of War type lyrics. How about "Masters of Oil"?

Psst, hey, NeilDeal, I wasn't making fun of you. I was just re-utilizing your very true statements to have essentially a B & B moment. Well excuse me! It is agreed that all involved should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Let's face it though, someone was screwing gannon in the WH. After all, you don't need a REAL prostitute to achive this sort of journalistic prostitution (see Judith Miller, Tim Russet, Chris Mathews, the entire FOX news channel, ...)

There's a great deal more to this "Jeff Gannon" enigma than meets the eye. Notice how he keeps stonewalling on the issue of taking a DNA test that would prove once and for all whether he is or is not abducted paperboy Johnny Gosch? The reason he refuses is because it might expose a much bigger iceberg that we have thus far only seen the tip of, and in exposing that he would be putting his life in jeopardy.

That iceberg is the organized ring of people who kidnapped Johnny Gosch and many other kids and forced them into sexual slavery. It is a C.I.A. pedophile sex ring that has origins in their MK-ULTRA programs and apparantly branched out into using child prostitutes to blackmail members of Congress, other government officials, foreign dignitaries etc. who happen to be pedophiles, and in addition to the blackmail aspect there's the large amount of money they surely make, all off-the-books, from trafficking in children. This has been going on for many years and almost certainly still continues. Every once in a while small bits of the iceberg peek above the surface, much to the dismay of the C.I.A. pedophile sex ring.

Then around the turn of the decade 1980s-'90s, the Franklin Community Credit Union scandal broke, involving that rising star in the Republican Party Lawrence King (not to be confused with talk show host Larry King; 2 different people). What started out as a probe into embezzlement of millions of dollars from the Credit Union began uncovering something much more sordid: King was heavily involved in an organized pedophile ring that was providing "services" to government officials in Washington where King had a second home. Of course the powers that be put the kibosh on this aspect of the investigation, even going so far as to prosecute two of the witnesses for "perjury" for refusing to recant their testimonies about the child molestation, and King was prosecuted for only the monetary aspect of the Franklin scandal. Many links exist regarding this scandal and here are a few:http://franklincase.org/keyplayers.htmhttp://www.whale.to/b/aq3.htmlhttp://franklincase.org/1993.htmhttp://www.sexandmycityw...rthcarolina.net/id6.html
